CBF Podcast: A Conversation with Patrice Gopo

English novelist Philip Pullman wrote, “After nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

Story is central to our lives. Who we are and who we are becoming, individually and communally, is a composition of the many days, encounters, conflicts, resolutions, and hopes of our lives.

Psychologically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually, the better we know our personal story, the better we become at differentiation, decision making, and relative interactions with the world.

The same can be said about knowing the stories of others.

This week’s CBF Podcast Conversation centers on story. Our guest, Patrice Gopo, author of All the Colors We Will See, knows the importance of story.

Gopo writes a collection of essays about her journey as a Jamaican-American from Alaska. She writes on marriage, immigration, parenthood, childhood, and race.
